Trex is a manufactured substitute for wood compounded from post-consumer plastic and wood. it is frequently used in outdoor decks. its density is reported as 60.0 lb/f t 3 . what is the density of trex in kg/l ?

Respuesta :

Answer: 0.95 kg/l

Density of Trex, [tex]d=60.0 lb/ft^3[/tex] (Given)

We need to find the density of Trex in kg/l.

We need to convert lb into kg and cubic ft to l.

we know that:

[tex]1 lb=0.45 kg[/tex]

[tex]1ft^3=28.32l[/tex]

Then, [tex]60lb/ft^3=\frac{60lb\times 0.45kg/lb}{1ft^3\times 28.32 l/ft^3}=0.95kg/l[/tex]

Therefore, the density of Trex is [tex]60lb/ft^3 or 0.95 kg/l[/tex]
